Front Axle Hub temperature higher than rear axle
After 90 minutes of towing my TT this Sunday I used my infrared temperature gun on my dual axle trailer.
The hubs on the front axle were about 120F (both sides pretty much the same) while the rear axle hubs were about 20 degrees cooler - again both hubs of the rear axle were pretty much the same.
I use Eaz-Lift WDH and have it set up pretty well (the sticky on this forum is great for helping me set this up). My TT is nose down about an inch or less and I'm wondering if that is "too much" nose down.
My guess is the front axle probably has more weight on it and that is causing the temperature difference. The extra weight on the front axle could be caused by the TT being nose down.
Any thoughts?
EDIT - this is about the TT axles (not the truck axles).
Thanks,
Ed
